Chapter 580 The poisoner
Wu Xirou didn't expect Qin Zhao to be so bold and dare to run directly to Xiao Ce's bed in broad daylight, and this was also unseemly.
It happened to happen to Qin Zhao, it seemed normal.
She was shocked and confused, secretly wondering why Qin Zhao didn't care about the eyes of others at all?
When she arrived at this moment, Qin Zhao didn't even look at her.
"What book is sister reading, so focused?!" Wu Xirou asked curiously.
Qin Zhao took the time to look at Wu Xirou: "The story is a folk legendary love story anyway. It's quite interesting. Would you like to read it, sister?"
Wu Xirou choked for a while. She didn't expect that what Qin Zhao was reading was a storybook. She thought it was a serious book.
"Sister, let's see." Wu Xirou sat down at the side and said in a casual tone: "His Royal Highness went to Yangxin Palace and has not returned yet. It is said that the Emperor's dragon body is ill. Sister, have you ever thought about what would happen if His Highness the Crown Prince sat on the throne?
After that position..."
She acted cautiously, hesitated to speak, and did not dare to speak too directly.
But there was nothing strange about Qin Zhao's expression, and she didn't know for a moment whether Qin Zhao understood what she meant.
Or maybe Qin Zhao doesn't care whether Xiao Ce ascends the throne or not?
"I wonder what sister is thinking?" Seeing Qin Zhao didn't respond, Wu Xirou asked straightforwardly.
Qin Zhao finally looked at Wu Xirou and said angrily: "What do you want to do about something that hasn't happened? I only know that Your Highness is very good now and will be very good in the future. There is no need to predict things that have never happened."
"My sister still sees clearly." Wu Xirou sighed sincerely.
She had just learned that the emperor was seriously ill, and was thinking about what she should do after the emperor died, but Qin Zhao obviously did not think so far ahead.
Just now Qin Zhao mentioned that Xiao Ce would be great, but did not mention herself. Does this mean that Qin Zhao also cares about Xiao Ce?
"What kind of feelings does my sister have for His Royal Highness?" Wu Xirou was really curious and asked.
Qin Zhao smiled: "There are any of them. Your Highness is my man, and he is a man I will love for the rest of my life."
Is Wu Xirou testing her feelings for Xiao Ce, just like she tested Xiao Ce's feelings for her that day?
I have to say, Wu Xirou has so many little thoughts. Isn’t such a person tired of living?
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhao would answer so straightforwardly. Wu Xirou waited for a while before saying: "His Highness will definitely be happy if my sister likes you."
Qin Zhao's attention was on the script, she responded softly and did not look at Wu Xirou again.
Wu Xirou sat there for a while, then stood up again. Then she couldn't help but ask, "Are my sister and I good sisters?"
"So you still doubt this?" Qin Zhao raised his lips with a half-smile.
Wu Xirou was speechless for a moment, but Qin Zhao's rhetorical question made her seem like a villain.
"I hope to serve His Highness with my sister, and I hope that one day I can have a place in His Highness's heart. I respect Your Highness and I respect my sister," Wu Xirou said softly.
She even thought that as long as Qin Zhao could tolerate her, she would be willing to be that book boy for the rest of her life. Because Qin Zhao could not give birth to a child, she could give birth to a child for Xiao Ce instead of Qin Zhao.
Even if she will never become the person Xiao Ce cares about most in this life, it is enough that she can have a child who is related to Xiao Ce.
"Your Highness will definitely know your filial piety." Qin Zhao responded with a faint smile.
Wu Xirou looked at Qin Zhao for a while, then turned and left the dormitory.
Qin Zhao's mind was on the script, and he didn't care whether Wu Xirou stayed or left.
At midnight in the evening, Xiao Ce finally returned to the East Palace.
Qiu Shui immediately told him that Qin Zhao had been waiting in the main hall for a long time. Before he entered the bedroom, Qin Zhao came forward and said, "His Highness is finally back."
"Qiu Shui said you've been waiting for a long time." The moment he saw Qin Zhao, Xiao Ce's solemn expression softened slightly.
"It doesn't matter how long I can wait until His Highness comes back." Qin Zhao pulled Xiao Ce to sit down and asked Qiu Shui to pass the meal: "Your Highness must not have had dinner yet? Eat as much as you like. The Emperor is not in good health, and Your Highness must take good care of him.
You can do it yourself.”
Xiao Ce did not eat because he was not in the mood.
After Qiu Shui handed over the meal, he ate a bowl of rice under Qin Zhao's supervision.
"The big things are not as important as your body. Your Highness actually let me watch you before you eat such a small amount." Qin Zhao was dissatisfied but had no choice but to ask Qiu Shui to withdraw the meal.
Looking at Xiao Ce's appearance, he knew that the emperor's situation was not good without asking.
I originally wanted to ask, but there is no need to ask again this time.
Xiao Ce was in such a low mood that she planned to stay overnight in the main hall to keep him company.
After taking a bath, Qin Zhao took Xiao Ce to bed to rest.
Xiao Ce tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Seeing him like this, Qin Zhao said, "If your highness has something on your mind, you can talk to me."
Xiao Ce turned to look at Qin Zhao, feeling that he could listen to her thoughts on this matter.
"After Miss Luo diagnosed her father's pulse, she said that he had been poisoned for nearly a year, but neither Dr. Feng nor other doctors in the hospital could diagnose his poisoning. Gu Hengshu couldn't figure out who had such ability.
, can poison my father quietly." Xiao Ce said and sat up.
The servants at Yangxin Hall arrested two groups of people for interrogation, but no one confessed.
"According to His Highness, the person must be close to the Emperor before he can attack the Emperor. He must have access to the Emperor's clothing, food, housing and transportation. Has Your Highness screened everyone?" Qin Zhao asked.
"Everyone has checked, but no suspects have been found." Xiao Ce fixed his gaze on Qin Zhao's face: "Perhaps there are some omissions."
Qin Zhao was silent for a moment before saying: "Since this person can poison the emperor quietly, he must have some means and connections, and he can get close to the emperor. This person is either not guarded by the emperor or is highly valued by the emperor."
.”
Perhaps this person was still highly regarded by Xiao Ce, so Xiao Ce did not suspect that person.
In fact, it was not difficult to find such a person. The difficulty was that Xiao Ce would not doubt that person. At this moment, she thought of a person who could definitely get close to the emperor.
She even suspected that the same person was responsible for the poisoning of the Queen Mother last time.
"What you said makes sense, but who could that person be?" Xiao Ce looked Qin Zhao up and down: "Have you guessed who that person is?"
Qin Zhao's expression looks like this.
Qin Zhao sighed: "This only shows that His Highness trusts that person very much, so he has never doubted him."
Xiao Ce secretly wondered how many people he could trust? Moreover, Qin Zhao also said that he particularly trusted that person.
He quickly filtered the names of people he trusted, and was able to contact his father frequently.
At this time, Qin Zhao said again: "When the Queen Mother was poisoned last time, he was actually present, but everyone automatically filtered him out."
